Health Care

stop drinking and then you be more focused...so you admit to your gross generalization...good.

NO public...any public...not even small amount of public money to pay for abortions...NO allowance for elective surgery...YES!! pay for elective surgery out of your own pocket...that is exactly how it should be...plastic surgery as well...

NOW you get it...and you admit that aye was right...because you admit to it in your post...now you catching on read what you wrote again in RED...

that is part of what aye was talking about...NO ALLOWANCES...

let the women or men and women since this is really about convenience and not just a woman's reproductive issue to pay for their own 100 to 500 dollar elective surgery...

now you get it...

and you see how important the pro-life/fiscal conservative {DEMOCRAT} NOT REPUBLICAN issue is now to "medical insurance reform"...told you it would take a lot of debate..

This issue is what holds things up from adopting this bill...and it is ELECTIVE surgery...elective surgery...how inane...just go with stupak language and the bill gets signed...simple really.

now the good news...the billís requirement to strictly segregate funds provides a disincentive for insurers to cover abortion...itís going to be difficult to make sure that theyíre doing it correctly and if insurance companies find abortion coverage too onerous to provide...they could just give the whole thing up....

who accuse you violence? (not that it would surprise julie: you never met war not like, you pissant.)

and you absolutely incorrect about senate bill, which is one of current lies being spread by your ilk. merged senate bill does not allow federal money be used abortions, however many times you and yours lie about it. bill does allow women buy unsubsidized abortion coverage with own money, but assholes like you not able handle even that. given how this set up, it highly unlikely such plans even be offered by insurance companies. rich women, of course, still can get their abortions.

Now that I live in SE Asia, I learn that the US pays way too much for health care. An MRI here costs about $200USD instead of the $2000USD+ for one in the US.

The problem isn't health insurance it's health care costs. A US doctor earns several 100 grand/yr after going to school for 8 years after highschool plus 4-8 years of residency. Frankly, after that kind of time and money investment, they deserve huge salaries. Still, they don't need that much education to treat the flu or a broken arm. A two-year degree is all an RN needs and they should treat those types of maladies. We just have this "right to health care" mentality (meaning the right to see a M.D. whenever we have the flue). A two-year degree doesn't deserve more than a $35k/yr salary (in all but large cities) and the cost of health care should reflect that. I suppose other wages could increase to match health care wages, but that's not happening so health care wages and spending should decrease.

I oppose the mentality because it further pepetuates the US' number one problem - the feeling that we have the "right" to evertything we want even if we cannot pay for it. Plus the right to a bailout when life treats us bad. Just look at our credit card debt verses savings and poor families (or single mothers) with 3+ children - not to mention our Fed. and State deficits. In other words, we are selfish.
